Regulation of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and KGF receptor mRNAs by nutrient intake and KGF administration in rat intestine.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and KGF receptor mRNAs by diet and KGF treatment in rat intestine. Fasting for three days up-regulated KGF and KGF receptor mRNA levels in ileum and increased KGF receptor mRNA expression in colon. KGF and KGF receptor mRNA levels returned toward control values with ad libitum refeeding but remained elevated when refeeding was limited to 25% of ad libitum intake. KGF treatment during nutrient repletion did not alter intestinal KGF mRNA levels but increased KGF receptor mRNA abundance in ileum and colon. We conclude that the increase in KGF and KGF receptor mRNAs induced by malnutrition may be an adaptive response to attenuate gut mucosal atrophy in this setting. The gut-trophic effects of KGF treatment may be mediated, in part, by up-regulation of the KGF receptor mRNA in small bowel and colon.
